    Filme Im Jahr 2010

    FILME IM JAHR 2010 SHEVA DAKOT BA’GAN EDEN / SIEBEN MINUTEN IM HIMMEL (IL 2008) Der Film wurde 2008 auf dem Internationalen Filmfestival Haifa mit einem Preis ausgezeichnet. Jerusalem in der Purimzeit, eine junge Frau sucht nach ihren Erinnerungen, nach Liebe, nach einer Berührung ohne Schmerz. Ein Jahr zuvor war sie bei einem Terroranschlag schwer verletzt worden, ihr Freund überlebt nicht. Sie sucht den Sanitäter, der sie aus dem brennenden Bus gerettet hat, sie sucht ihre Erinnerungen an das Leben, an die Zweisamkeit davor. Sie sucht sich selbst. Es ist auch eine Suche nach einer weltlichen Spiritualität, in der Schmerzen und das alte Glück im neuen nicht zu trennen sind. Wie viele Chancen hat eine Seele, ein Schmetterling, dessen Flügelschlag nur manchmal in bestimmten Momenten zu spüren ist? * REGIE, BUCH: Omri Givon | KAMERA: Nitai Netzer | MIT: Reymonde Amsellem, Eldad Prives, Nadav Nates, Ronit Yudkevitz | PRODUZENT: Marek Rozenbaum für EZ Films Israel. 94 min, Hebräisch mit engl. UT Sonntag, 24. Januar 2010, 19:30. METRO Kinokulturhaus In Kooperation mit HELLO GOODBYE (F/I/IL 2008) Nach mehreren Experimenten mit den unterschiedlichsten Genren – vom Thriller (Le pacte du silence 2003) bis zur Actionkomödie (Les kindnappeurs, 1998) – ist Regisseur Graham Guit (geboren 1968 in Neuilly-sur-Seine) nun mit „Hello Goodybye“ eine wirklich charmante Kultur-Clash Komödie gelungen. Bereits in „Le pacte du silence“ hatte er erfolgreich mit Gérard Depardieu zusammengearbeitet, der in „Hello Goodbye“ die vielleicht überraschendste Rolle seiner Karriere spielt. Depardieu ist Alain Gaash, ein Pariser Jude mit ostjüdischen Wurzeln, der gleich mit zwei Krisen konfrontiert wird: seine jüdische Identität und seine Ehe geraten aus den Fugen.

  • Narratives Crossing Borders

    Narratives Crossing Borders

    NARRATIVES CROSSING BORDERS BORDERS CROSSING NARRATIVES Which is the identity of a traveler who is constantly on the move between cultures and languages? What happens with stories when they are transmitted from one place to another, when they are retold, remade, translated and re- translated? What happens with the scholars themselves, when they try to grapple with the kaleidoscopic diversity of human expression in a constantly changing world? These and related questions are explored in the chapters of this collection. Its overall topic, narratives that pass over national, language and ethnical borders includes studies about transcultural novels, poetry, drama, and the narratives of journalism. There is a broad geographic diversity, not only in the collection as a whole, but also in each of the single contributions. This in turn demands a multitude of theoretical and methodological approaches, which cover a spectrum of concepts from such different sources as post-colonial studies, linguistics, religion, aesthetics, art, and media studies, often going beyond the well-known Western frameworks. The works of authors like Miriam Toews, Yoko Tawada, Javier Moreno, Leila Abouela, Marguerite Duras, Kyoko Mori, Francesca Duranti, Donato Ndongo-Bidyogo, Riibi (eds.) al. et Jonsson Herbert Hideo, and François Cheng are studied from a variety of perspectives. Other chapters deal with code-switching NARRATIVES in West African novels, border crossing in the Japanese noh drama, translational anthologies of Italian literature, urban legends on the US-Mexico border, migration in CROSSING BORDERS German children’s books, and war trauma in poetry. Most of the chapters are case studies of specific works THE DYNAMICS OF CULTURAL INTERACTION and authors, and may thus be of interest, not only for specialists, but also for the general reader.
